The first session is mostly to get to know you and to understand what brings you to treatment. I usually go over my approach to therapy and what to expect from me.

I'm genuinely curious and enjoy meeting people and learning their stories.

Ideal clients

In a nutshell, this person is ready to grow. Growth is about recognizing and accepting that you want to do better, that you want to feel better, and being committed to learning what you need to get there. My role, as the therapist, is to help you figure out what is keeping you stuck, how to get unstuck, and how to get to the next stage of your life.

Treatment methods

Eclectic

An eclectic approach allows for more flexibility in helping people to identify their challenges and work together to find solutions.

Humanistic

Each person's journey is unique to them, and the therapists rule is simply to help them find their way to happiness.

Abdul has helped me gain a much better understanding of my Brother's mental health condition and my own need to establish boundaries in helping my brother while preserving my own emotional health.
